A columnist is a journalist who produces a specific form of writing for publication called a "column". Columns appear in newspapers, magazines and the Internet. Some Internet columns are called blogs or Weblogs.
What differentiates a column from other forms of journalism is that it meets each of the following criteria:
- It is a regular feature in a publication

- It explicitly contains an opinion or point of view
